Episode description


* As I said on a prior podcast, this could be the first Presidential Honeymoon to end before the marriage officially begins
* Donald Trump will not be sworn in until Friday
* Yet the Honeymoon already appears to be over for the Trump Trade
* The dollar continues to decline again today; gold continues to rise
* Confounding the experts who, at the beginning of the year, predicted the opposite
* Gold up again today about $14 it was up $4-5 yesterday, on the Martin Luther King holiday
*  We're now at about $1217 for the price of gold
* We're still below where we were the day Trump won
* But this is the highest we've been in about 6 weeks, maybe more
* It's certainly the highest for the year
* Dollar down across the board; dollar index at the low for the year
* Still up from Trump's victory but down quite a bit from the highs
* Of course, other currencies, even though the dollar index is down 2%
* You've got currencies like the Australian dollar up 4.5%
* So that currency has pretty much recovered everything that it lost based on the Trump victory
* Gold, although it hasn't recovered everything, it's still up almost 6% so far year to date
* Silver's up better than 7% year to date
* Gold stocks, look at the GDX, up 12% so far this year
* That means that gold stocks by far is the top performing sector in 2017
* They were by far the top performing sector in 2016
* I actually think the out-performance in 2017 will be even greater than 2016
* The Dow, down again, at one point it was down close to 100
* Dow transports ended down over 100
* I think the Dow is basically flat on the year - slightly positive
* The NASDAQ was down 35 points; S&P down as well
* So U.S. stocks are barely moving
* Foreign stocks - some of these emerging markets are up huge, especially priced in U.S. dollars
* All the foreign markets, thus far in 2017 are beating the U.S. market
* Again, that is not what all the experts were expecting from the Trump Rally
